New Rules (First Batch)
There was a wave of new rules that Roosh and I were in discussion about privately. I think now is a good time to start to implement them. Effective immediately:

4. Fees for Warnings. Minor warnings will cost $2, 3-day warnings will cost $5, and 7-dayers will be $10. Users will have to set up an escrow account to cover forum expenses. Users with over 50 rep points will have a "bill me later" option which they will have to settle at the end of every month. Delinquent account will lose posting privileges. I expect this system to be up within 30 days.

6. Forum Administration Smilies. The following animated gifs are off-limits to users. Only I, and the yet-to-be-named moderator, can use them. Unauthorized use of it will result in a one-week suspension ($10).
More to come. I will update the master rule-list in the coming days.

You know what I think Roosh is good in jail. That's where this misogynistic hairy cunt deserves to be. #dontfreeroosh

an internet forum is expected to be a free service, I cannot think of a single instance in where I have remotely considered spending a dime on a forum for any reason whatsoever.

The hosting for this forum is not free. The time Tuth, Roosh, and other mods invest keeping this forum running and keeping trolls and other lamers out of the forum is not free. You sound like a whiny entitled feminist thinking we should give it all away to you for free.

If you want free, go post in the comment section of Jezebel about how the evil patriarchy here is asking for compensation for something that costs time and money to make real.

(It does sound like a joke to me at this point, but I have been in jail and it's a really crappy situation not even being able to pee in private)

Is your reading comprehension this bad or are you trying to get a mod to pat you on the back for automatically agreeing with him?

There are better and more clever ways of collecting revenue for the site, none of which are to automatically charge you upon registering.

You get bonus points for claiming moral superiority while at the same time not being so much as a silver member of the site.

Well 30 days from now when the supposed changes take place in terms of fees is April Fool's Day. I just hope that was intentional lol.

Is this a coup?

I don't see any connection between these new rules and Roosh's situation. Can someone explain?

Cosigned. Wouldn't we want to continue things business as usual to avoid causing panic or drawing attention to the situation?

[Switch]

Tuth, I am by no means entitled to give you any advice but here is something I think you should consider:

The forum derives its value from its members. With no contributing members, there is no forum. If I were in your shoes, I would make sure that any new rules instituted do not upset the main contributors here at RVF ie Soup, Speakeasy, elmech, , thedude, Christian McQueen, Rio, Gio, Ali, Fisto etc etc, because if any number of them get upset enough to leave, that is a huge loss for the forum.

[K Galt]

One thing is for sure...I've never seen so many usernames on the "User(s) browsing this forum" list for the Everything Else forum before!

You guys need to relax

My day just got quite a bit more interesting.

It's been interesting in that sense that I see a lot of members need to work on their Frame Control.

Worst case scenario: it's only jail time. Roosh has never struck me as precious.

You've been wanting to funnel cash into RVF, looks like it just got easier. Trolling Ali + paying penalties, like killing two birds w one stone

[Daddy]

On a brighter note, there are a lot of mitigating factors in the case : nightclub, gypsy, stalking, etc. Roosh is probably facing something like 1 year maximum... with Internet access. He'll be able to manage everything as usual and write for ROK and his blog.

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha that's gold.

[Alpharius]

2. Bad Thread Titles. That's pretty subjective, isn't it?

5. Datasheet Packages. Will the original authors get a cut?

All hail the new RVF High Inquisitor!




I'm not sure if I'm joking or not when I say Tuth had Roosh set up so he could pull a coup and take charge of the forum.

[mikado]

I concur.

People must calm down. No need to go out of control.

Whether this is trolling, the absolute truth, whatever: just go on your life, chill a bit, then come back in a few hours, when the situation will be sorted out a bit more.

[JoyStick]

And this is only the first batch of new rules. I am curious to find out what the next batch of rules will consist of.

[R Smoov]

Oh this was the Emergency Lounge!

Sup guys!

Everyone stay calm.

If need be I will personally go to Poland and get Roosh out of jail.

Is there a car in Poland powerful enough for you to steal and drive through the wall?

If Roosh is in jail, how did he just sign onto the forum a few minutes ago?

[Bill]

Looks like a stunt well done.

Hurry up! I'm in gym clothes and this is delaying my workout. I want to find out the conclusion.

He's here to update us on a +1 with the prison guard.
